Default Fancy Goldfish....

....don't do well in ponds due to their poor vision (depending on what type)
and slow swimming. They fall easy prey to predators. Not all are in the
extreme though. I found bubble eyes that have small bubbles and can see!
They're still different and very attractive. These will spend the summer in
outdoor protected pools. Only the celestials appear to be blind but easily
find enough food in an aquarium to stay healthy and grow.
